West End Condo

Classic and Cool

The West End of Portland, Maine is one of those places where streets wind around and through each other allowing for some wonderful meandering. Home of the terrific Reiche Elementary School, the excellent private school, Waynflete, Maine Med, and Mercy Hospital, the West End is desirable and convenient. Walking to the the Old Port is easy as is the arts district. All in all, the West End is the ultimate of Portland neighborhoods.

This Great Condo

135 Brackett is in the heart of the West End. Situated directly across from the Reiche School playground, this sunny apartment is convenient to all. As you enter from the Brackett Street side (as opposed to the side door next to your parking space), you are at once struck by the nice, long hallway, and the classic details of the home. The hardwood floors (throughout) are original and in excellent shape. Crown molding surrounds the entire condo and oversized windows let in the sunshine.

The Details

As I sat in a chair by the 3 Bay windows in the living room, I looked up to the high ceilings and thought, wow, there is a lot of room in this place. It was a little chilly, so I started a fire in the wood burning fire place which boasts a simple, but stylish mantel. A lot of furniture and bookcases can fit in this room. The three bedrooms, yes 3! are situated along the hall each with a decent sized closet and large windows. The kitchen is at the end of the hall as is the dining room, which is huge. There is a lovely built-in cabinet in the dining room for your plates or objects d'art.

So many condos have galley kitchens; barely enough to fit your Kitchen Aid. But this home has the contrary. Large, spacious, cherry wood cabinets hold everything you need. There is a commercial Castle gas stove, a stainless fridge, and dishwasher. The counter tops are a beautiful, black, honed granite with plenty of room for chopping your veg. The kitchen is open to the dining room too, which is so great for entertaining.

Just off the kitchen is the side entry, more cabinetry for either coats and mittens, or, as the sellers are using it, a pantry. The second bath is located here as well. Speaking of bathrooms, they have both been updated and one has a clawfoot tub, the other, a shower. That's 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths in this condo! You don't see that too often around here, especially at this price.

Even More

There is plenty of storage in your locked room in the basement as well as your own washer and dryer. No waiting on anyone else! And no coins!! Outside the side entrance is a little porch that has space for a grill and a small yard. And of course, your parking space is here too. So easy to dash out of the rain and up to your door from your car!
